Ban-dus are back!


Ban-Du
Because of the relentless requests for our Ban-dus we have decided to bring them back!

Originally developed for Paintball use, over the years customers have also purchased them for boating, motorcycling, camping, head covering for chemotherapy patients, and other uses.

Ban-du fits both small heads as well as those with large heads. It also covers the back of your neck so the sun does not get to it or paintballs don't break as often. They come with a fully padded sweat band, and "tails" long enough to tie and have extra for that special styling many players desire.





You can order your Ban-du in almost any color or color combination. They can also be ordered in a wide range of fabric patterns and even camo styles. So feel free to ask us if we can do what you are looking for. If we have the color or fabric design (or we can get it) chances are YOU can have it!

We will be adding more pictures of this product as we take them. Most of the images on the old site simply don't work well on the new site. Please bear with us until we get the new pictures online.

This product is generally made to order but we may have some pre-made.
PRICE = $15
Shipping is extra and is normally $5 per shipment.

Some more pictures!

Thank you. We too are very pleased the demand for them was there and the requests kept coming in even when we stopped making them.

I, too, am interested in a head wrap thingy. Might as well try it out.


Unfortunately, I don't/won't PAYPAL.

Care to PM me address/payment info for USPS money order mailing?

I'm interested in a Vietnam Tigerstripe (if it's the same Tiger stripe style material as the PropperTM brand BDU's... www.BDU.com ) and a black one maybe.

Let me just say that I have two, an all black and a flame-on that are two and one years old respectively. They get used every time I paintball and have been through the wash countless times and still look great. Man do I love these things.

I'm kinda confused, is this just like a bandana with a print, or is there more to them? (I just usually wear a baseball cpa backwards). Does anyone have a picture of one not on a head?

Yes, that is possible. It is a popular combination. PM being sent as soon as I get this post made. Thanks!

Yes, I have that fabric, but I recommend it be used only as the band and matched with a solid color head cover (du) because the weight of the fabric is so heavy. I also run the pattern so you can see it better on the band, and that usually makes it run different than the BDU’s direction. If I ran it the same you would actually lose the camo effect because the colors would extend too much along the band. I hope that made sense. LOL But those who have ordered them like them anyways.

Here is a small picture of the fabric as a band. I do not offer embroidery at this time though (like I did before) because my machine is not working. But this gives you an idea of how the camo runs.


I will shoot you off a PM.

Thank you for the review. We are very happy you like the product so much. I too wear mine every time I play. It is hard to explain to folks how good they are until you actually try them in a game.

Again, thanks for the review and we are pleased you like them. And not only do they keep the sweat out of your eyes and the sun from burning your noggin, but it keep the sun off the back of your neck as well. I find they also help with bugs in the woods too, and the occasional shot to the back of the neck area.

I used to wear a ball cap backwards like you do now. But then I made myself a Ban-du and have not looked back.

They are not just a bandana with a print. They are similar to the larger style Sandanas out there (which have come back now) consisting of a band that you tie around your forehead and has “tails” when tied, and a “du” part that goes over your head. Depending on what color or style you order you can have them be one color/pattern, or mix and match (as you can see from the orders above). Many times folks get contrasting or complimenting colors to match their camo laying gear or their team uniform colors (be it either for woods or speedball). And being most of these are made to order, we can usually match up colors pretty close to what folks are currently using.

Here is a picture of one NOT on a head.

They also have a nice sweatband insert that goes into the band and is easily removable for replacing with a dry one as needed.
